- Agency quotes are too expensive for an independent garage.
What we fix
- A professional, trustworthy online presence that ranks locally.
- Clear service lists and contact forms to capture leads 24/7.
- A transparent, affordable $800 flat fee with no hidden costs.

Who builds your site
One professional. No middlemen.
I'm Charlie - a web developer-designer with over 10 years of experience building high-performance websites for businesses of all sizes. When you work with me, you work with me. No account managers, no outsourced teams, no playing telephone with your feedback.
I started SiteSubs because I saw too many business owners getting burned - paying agencies thousands for slow, bloated sites, or trying to do it themselves and looking unprofessional online. There's a better way: transparent pricing, custom design, and sites that actually convert traffic. I ensure your auto repair shop gets a website that works just as hard as you do.
Real owners, real builds
Don't just take my word for it
